The sourcing gap
Finding a Korean factory is easy. Knowing who is worth contacting is not.
Supplier directories give you names. They do not clearly tell you who manufactures, which claims need evidence, whether the MOQ fits, or what to ask in the first email.
02
Which claims need verification?
See certification claims beside their source and the exact documents you still need to request.
03
Will the MOQ fit your launch?
Separate public MOQ information, estimates, and unknowns instead of treating them as equally reliable.
04
What should you ask first?
Start with a product-specific English RFQ rather than a generic request for a catalog and price list.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is GloSource AI a sourcing agent?
No. GloSource AI prepares research, supplier-candidate comparisons, and RFQ drafts. You contact, verify, negotiate with, and pay suppliers directly.
Are the suppliers verified?
No. GloSource AI surfaces public evidence and risk signals for first-pass review. Every supplier, certificate, bank account, sample, and manufacturing claim requires independent verification.
How do you distinguish a manufacturer from a trader?
We review public signals such as OEM/ODM language, factory addresses, production capabilities, company registrations, export listings, and company-site evidence. The result is a signal, not a legal determination.
Which certifications do you check?
Depending on the product and available evidence, a report may surface ISO 22716, cosmetics GMP/CGMP, ISO 9001, MFDS-related manufacturing information, and vegan or cruelty-free claims. Confirm every claim with the supplier and issuing body.
Will the report include MOQ and pricing?
Only when publicly available or reasonably supported. Estimates are labeled as estimates. Unknown information is turned into an RFQ question rather than invented.
Can you guarantee US or EU compliance?
No. Regulatory suitability depends on the formula, claims, testing, labeling, responsible parties, and target market. Consult qualified regulatory professionals before sale.
What should I do after receiving a shortlist?
Contact at least three candidates, request company and certification documents, compare samples, verify legal and bank identities, confirm formula ownership and testing, and use a written manufacturing agreement.
